Indy Risk School
Post-implementation Review: Cave Project
| Project Manager: | Dr. Indiana Jones; |
| Project Objective: | To retrieve priceless gold statue for the museum; |
| Did the project meet objectives? | No. Indy got the statue but lost it in the last phase to evil forces; |
| Project Costs: | High. One guide dead, a severely bruised Indy and a priceless archeological find [the cave which contains photo-electric cells for example] destroyed; |
| Project Benefits : | None - Indy did not save the statue for society and research; |
| Overall success: | From all perspectives the Cave Project was dismal failure. Not only did the project fail to meet its objectives but one person died and the project manager was placed at risk throughout the project; |
| Other relevant comments: | In addition, the project manager Dr. Indiana Jones didn't undertake planning or risk assessment and went into the Cave project completely un-prepared. |
Finally, Dr. Jones has exhibited no learning from the project and has continued throughout the entire three releases of the Indiana Jones Integrated Project (Release1: Raiders of the Lost Ark; Release 2: The Temple of Doom; Release 3: The Last Crusade) to walk into other Cave Projects without any planning or formal risk assessment; |
|
| Conclusion: | Dr. Indiana Jones should be demoted from Project Manager to Trainee ASAP. |
